Who is Laughing Chef?

Jeevi Ramtel - Laughing Chef, Plant-Based Chef, Laughter Yoga Master

When Jeevi moved from his hometown in Nepal to Australia in 1996, he quickly noticed that many Australians didn’t really know how to make delicious and nutritious plant-based meals, and set about sharing his unique culinary vision with us.

In 2012, he won the People’s Choice Award for the Hot Raw Chef competition. An award that cemented his growing reputation as a rising vegetarian chef in Australia. For many people that would be enough. But Jeevi continued on and travelled to the USA to graduate as a certified raw food chef and instructor at the “Living Light Culinary Art Institute.”

In addition to his undeniable cooking talents, Jeevi brings another unique skill to the table. The joy of laughter.

A naturally happy and bubbly guy, he is in fact a Certified Laughter Yoga teacher and has been conducting laughter yoga sessions in Australia, USA, Nepal and India since 2012.

Jeevi is the regular chef for Happy Buddha Retreats and the co-founder of Raw Living Academy.

His vision is to reach 5 million people by 2025, and teach them that plant-based food, served up with a healthy dose of laughter and joy is the perfect nourishment for body, mind and soul. His dream is to have a cooking show or feature on SBS and Netflix, and deliver a TedTalk.

So, if you’d like to expand your knowledge of the wonderfully tasty world of vegetarian cuisine, and have a good laugh while you’re doing it, get your ticket to Laughing Chefs retreats and have a feast on his free, easy and delicious plant-based recipes in his new e-book duos.

Enjoy your meal! Tapā’īm̐kō bhōjanakō majjā linuhōs!
